In Dollhouse, Dushku plays a young woman named Echo, a member of a group of people known as "Actives" or "Dolls." The Dolls have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas, including memory, muscle memory, skills, and language, for different assignments. They're then hired out for particular jobs, crimes, fantasies, and occasional good deeds. On missions, Actives are monitored internally (and remotely) by Handlers. In between tasks, they are mind-wiped into a child-like state and live in a futuristic dormitory/laboratory, a hidden facility nicknamed "The Dollhouse". The story follows Echo, who begins, in her mind-wiped state, to become self-aware.
I must say that the idea doesn't interest me as much as Buffy/Angel and Firefly did. On the other hand it is Joss Whedon...so it's already going to be above average. I'll be interested in how it is going to turn out.

I can't wait for this. I'm a little concerned about his ability to make these characters (who refresh every day with new memories/personalities/etc.) as empathetic so quickly as the Firefly or Buffy characters... but I have faith it'll be a great show, nonetheless. And of course, I <3 Eliza Dushku!
In my opinion many parts of the trailer looked incredibly lame, so that kinda disappointed me. I think it will still be good though, and I like the idea.

Me too. Though "fangirl" and not boy... I will watch Dollhouse because I trust him, but that's not to say it WILL be amazing. I think he's working under some pretty tight restrictions from Fox. I hope it's great though! Suddenly, this show isn't all that far away... I remember when it was first picked up, it was AGES until midseason time.
I really liked the pilot. I thought it was interesting in plot and the way it looked kind of drew me in. I'm not at all happy about it being on Fridays, because it's a death slot for TV shows, but I read that they've ordered more than the average amount of episodes and are hoping it'll be like the next 'X-Files'(because that show premiered on Friday and got popular). Anyway, I really liked it.
It got rubbish ratings apparently, even Supernanny beat it in the ratings!! if that was in the UK(where Supernanny originated) it would be an embarressment...
